Chapter 35: Sun Kun's Return - The Storm on the Continent

(I forgot if I wrote before that Zhao Le knew the news of Sun Kun, and I don't know where to find it, forget it, just don't write it, I often forget things, and I'm also cute.) By the way, let's try to read as much as possible about "Riding East Asia" and help promote it, overall, "Riding East Asia" is still well written, well, I am also cute when the two books are opened, ~\(โ‰งโ–ฝโ‰ฆ)/~)

The people who went to Cape Barron brought back many landless people who came here voluntarily to reclaim the barren land for one reason, and the land here belonged to them.

This is what Li Fugui and Li Hua agreed, such a policy can improve the production enthusiasm of the natives, according to Zhao Le's many time-traveling novels read in later generations, the treatment of farmers must be good.

These natives came to Flinders Island to farm, just like the colonial countries of Western Europe, looking for landless farmers or unemployed workers from their own country to come to their colonies to cultivate food and cultivated land.

Because most of the natives in their colonies are primitive tribes who can't cultivate the land, even if they are natives who can farm, the farming technology is not high, which is not enough to support the food consumption of the entire colony.

Now Zhao Le is also doing this, but this is not a colony, the most important thing is to encourage these natives to give birth vigorously, if Zhao Le wants to use the natives of Australia to conquer Southeast Asia or Japan, the most important thing is the population problem, and the technical problems are not too worried, after all, it is still in the era of cold weapons, even if some colonial countries in Western Europe have brought advanced firearms, or the firearms developed by the Ming Empire are not used by many people, and most countries in the world still use their cold weapons.

Population is the biggest problem to prevent Zhao Le's outward expansion, according to Li Hua, all the natives on the Australian continent together are only seven or eight hundred thousand at most, and these people remove the old and weak women and children who can't fight, and the remaining young and middle-aged people who can fight are only a hundred thousand, and these hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged people still have to cultivate the land, so only tens of thousands of people are real soldiers.

When Zhao Le heard the news, the whole person was confused, I go, the indigenous people on the entire Australian continent together are only hundreds of thousands of people, if you remove some remote areas of the indigenous people are difficult to collect, the indigenous people who can be found are only about five or six hundred thousand, five or six hundred thousand? Hehe, the population of a city in Daming is more than the population of the whole of Australia, can this TMD still be played?

But then Li Hua explained to Zhao Le that the population of the Mongols is only one million, and there are only one or two hundred thousand people who can fight, they can sweep across the Eurasian continent, and so can the natives of Australia. Moreover, the enemies of the Mongols are all very strong, and Zhao Le's goals: Southeast Asia and Japan or China, are now in a weak period, as long as the entire Australian continent can be unified, the rest will not be a problem.

Regarding Li Hua's words, Zhao Le could only say, Alexander.

After finishing the matter on Flinders Island, Zhao Le took the rest of the soldiers back to Cape Barron Island, rested for a while, and then Zhao Le looked at Tasmania Island in the south, this is the big head.

The spoils of war were returned to the public and distributed by Zhao Le according to rank, and after a few more days, Sun Kun returned with two natives.

When Sun Kun, who was investigating and exploring the news on the Australian mainland, came back, the jeans on his body had disappeared, replaced by a tattered kangaroo leather suit, and the ten natives that Sun Kun brought with him when he set off have now only returned two, looking at the embarrassed appearance of the two natives, presumably Sun Kun must have suffered a lot on this trip.

Without asking too much, Zhao Le asked Sun Kun and the others to settle down first, after all, looking at their appearance, I am afraid that they have not even eaten well.

A few hours later, Sun Kun insisted on getting up to report the information to Zhao Le, and Zhao Le saw that he insisted, and did not stop him, and listened carefully.

However, the more Zhao Leshi listened, the more frightened he became, according to Sun Kun, Sun Kun took ten natives to Australia in two canoes to inquire about intelligence, because the conditions were difficult at that time, so they could only be embarrassed to take the canoe.

Sun Kun and his group first traveled along the coast in a canoe to Flinders Island, where they stopped for a while before setting off again, aiming for an excellent port in southeastern Australia, which would later be known as Melbourne.

At that time, it was summer in Australia, and the sea was still very calm, and a big storm like Zhao Le encountered could only be said to be too coincidental.

After three or four days on the canoe, Sun Kun took ten natives to the Melbourne area, and the Melbourne area, which was extremely prosperous in later generations, was just a barren area at this time, and the occasional tribe was not big, all of them were small tribes of dozens or hundreds of people, and the largest tribe was only a tribe of more than two hundred people.

Sure enough, on the second day, Sun Kun and the others were tied up and wanted to be killed, saying that Sun Kun and the others were spies sent by King Nick.

Sun Kun used a trick to find out who the king of Nick was in the mouth of the natives, and only then did he know that there was a big contradiction between the two big tribes that originally took the artesian basin as the boundary, these two tribes were really big tribes, each tribe had tens of thousands of people, and there were many small tribes around, adding up to three or four hundred thousand people in the places where the two tribes were located, and these people were widely distributed in the Murray River Basin, the Great Lakes of Australia, and the Nullarb Plains, which were seven or eight thousand miles long from east to west, and they were almost on the Great Wall.

The two great tribes are called the Hongni tribe, which lives in the Great Lakes and Nullarbarough Plains region of Australia, while the Gani tribe lives in the Murray River basin.

In order to compete for fertile land and population, there were often wars between the two major tribes, and slowly, the confrontation between the western tribal alliance led by the Hongni tribe and the eastern tribal alliance led by the Qijia tribe was formed. However, the news came recently, I heard that the patriarch of the Western Tribal Alliance, that is, the patriarch of the Hongni tribe, Patriarch Nick, called himself King Nick? To attack the Eastern Tribal Alliance on a large scale, however, as to why the Great Patriarch of Nick called the King of Nick and why he wanted to attack the Eastern Tribal Alliance, these natives also heard some rumors from the mouths of the "messengers" who came and went to various tribes to do business.

The general meaning of the rumor is this, that is, the reason why the Nick Patriarch wants to call Nick King and attack the Eastern Tribal Alliance is entirely because of the meaning of a group of outsiders.

Sun Kun didn't hear anything else, just this sentence outsiders listened carefully, outsiders, what kind of people are considered outsiders, suddenly, Sun Kun seemed to think of something, and asked the natives what the outsiders looked like, because those outsiders and locals look completely different, so the "messengers" who came and went also remembered very clearly, the "messengers" who came and went remembered clearly, and the natives probably wrote it down, but their language skills were really not very good, and they could only say a rough idea, But even Sun Kun judged that they were foreigners and some Chinese who wanted to kill Zhao Le and his party, oh no, they were "traitors".

Blue eyes, golden hair, tall people, white bodies, aren't they the ones?
